a pivot point tried to interview you control only the parts you know. is. junk in the modern world and the only ones who don't get it. israel's prime minister has defied international criticism and is pushing through settlement expansion in east jerusalem city officials have given an initial green light to the building of fifteen hundred new homes in a jewish settlement on what the u.n. considers occupied palestinian learned the new netanyahu called jerusalem the eternal capital saying israelis should be united there but palestinians want east jerusalem to be the capital of their future state and the threatening to take the matter to the u.n. security council israeli officials meanwhile say they're going to discuss plans for another four and a half thousand homes in two other settlements this week the push for expansion was announced by israel after the u.n. upgraded palestine to a normal member observer state to step towards recognizing its statehood equality

campaign and party hirshman says the plans of threatening hopes for a two state solution it seems very clear that it was a retaliatory effort we should also talk about as though in the context of calming israeli elections there is clearly a lot of political cash aid to be gained from making these very bold and aggressive announcements of the u.n. resolution and clearly this is going mark so israel's. planning to consolidate control over history and their political motivations are. it's really. nice our fortunes are greater on dividing jerusalem as. is not so clearly obvious construction is extremely dangerous for a two state solution it's a struggle it disrupts the continuity of land between israel and the west bank on

which a future palestinian state with adults with israel increasingly isolated by the international community over his expansion policy the arab spring means the country is becoming surrounded by potentially hostile governments which makes some israelis say the deposed dictatorships were a safer bet for the country than the new democracies near its borders. reports. there's a storm brewing in the middle east and it's leaving a chill in the hearts of most israelis say what you might about the arab spring it poses an obvious problem for tel aviv zaman and so we've seen just a few weeks ago. plenty of missiles falling when israel form a radical. i dream and we see. already the beginning of may be attrition war in the golan heights we see plenty of danger of

in the mediterranean sea israel's backyard has become a lot more dangerous in the last two years weapons from libya are leaking across borders and landing in the hands of unknown militant groups the trouble ahead is symbolized by the muslim brotherhood sweep to power in egypt from this rally in june and ominous promise by the movement to make sure and not kind of the capital at a minimum what we'll see is the free flow of weapons money and supplies from egypt into the gaza strip we will see the egyptian volunteers going into the gaza strip to fight that's the minimum. moving up from there the possibility of egypt israel war is by no means impossible but it was democracy that brought the muslim brotherhood to power and ideal both israel and the west came to espouse but both are now waking up to the reality that things might in fact be better under the previous dictatorships at least for them we had

a difficult situation but at least we had the contact you know with the leadership secondly president mubarak was committed to the peace process. the situation today is that we are confronting a new president who belongs to a certain institution a certain movement which do not believe in the right of israel for existence is really. whatever friendships however useful they have with arab leaders it doesn't alter the basic rate posed by an arab awakening that in most countries is empowering militant islamic groups we will expect that these governments will one day will will but pressure not only on the friends of we feel also these. the new changes and aboard the democracies that is emerging in the world will have a tremendous challenge. in order to maintain.

law and order and to establish a real democracy the need some time but television fears that in the time it takes for that democracy to really take root and for the arab public perhaps one day to accept a jewish state relations with its arab neighbors will get far worse before they get better the challenge now for is twofold to avoid inflaming arab public opinion while protecting israel and also to counter the growing to speak many israelis feel of a growing isolation in an increasingly volatile neighborhood policy r.t. tell of of. people in spain say their dignity is at stake later report and help pensioners students and doctors in their cells are protesting against government austerity across the country. and also still to come time for action american soil and gun control petitions as a message to the white house after the latest tragedy in the u.s. elementary school the details on that and plenty of other stories after this break

by the country's government could ultimately cost part of its territory. i. like the one you like the one i love which is. germany. but it will take a lot from one of the great. risk of losing an election to change the course of the spanish government and i'm very much afraid all. the possibilities. if. you start thinking that perhaps. protests in spain have been getting creative with their posters one red cups will be with a guillotine will lead to a financial experts max keiser and stacy herbert discuss whether the trend could

a russia lawyer who was suspected of being involved in money laundering he died in prison before a court could make a decision on his case the minute ski act passed recently in the us is a law which allows sanctioning russian officials suspected of being connected to human rights violations but by many in moscow it's seen as an end to russian law and a proper response to it has become a source of some heated debate some deputies of the state duma want to see the response include banning all americans from adopting russian children in connection with all the cases of abuse sometimes even that's like the story of twenty one month year old. who was who suffocated to death after his adoptive american father left him in a locked car on and on a hot day in the open sun for the story one. american adoptive mother put her

child on a plane back to russia along carrying only some underwear and a note and it's not only the cases themselves but the a lack of a proper reaction from american afterwards to prevent these cases from reoccurring including the lack of some heavy jail sentences are causing so much outrage in russia and if it's clear that all those responsible for the abuse have to be punished the issue of introducing this ban for all americans to adopt the russian children has become quite a rift in the russia's political elite we have heard earlier from the minister of education was against the ban but i was met with some heavy criticism by some members of parliament who accuse the minister of wanting more for russian children to be adopted by americans rather than to develop properly in conditions for them here in russia now we've heard from the foreign minister also spoke against the ban there is definitely some heated debate on this issue would set to continue as the

state duma still. the tragedy in a new. left twenty six dead has a long running debate of gun control in the u.s. more than one hundred fifty thousand americans have already signed a petition asking the white house to introduce a bill limiting access to firearms and started charging i went to connecticut still deep in mourning to gauge opinion that to describe what's going on on the ground i think if we take all the sad words in the dictionary and combine them together there really is no way to describe no words to find to describe the heartbreak really the grief the sadness the tears that we saw on the ground this town is really at the head of me of grief during this holiday season in this country more last half of the population supports gun control and of the country is split and half believes that it's a civil right and it's a right that americans are entitled to so whether or not any legislation good

strong legislation can be passed to prevent these kinds of things is a question we're going to have to wait and see exactly what kind of steps lawmakers take and what the u.s. president takes but certainly i'm sure people are going to be demanding this kind of something to happen so that these situations are so they don't happen in the future over and over and over again parents holding their kids a little tighter and a little longer these days oh gosh i'm so glad that i have so many opportunities to . i love you i'm so glad you're mine i'm so glad you're in our family i'm so glad. you're here i'm still so glad that i'm having breakfast with you this morning candles flowers toys. and grief have filled newtown i keep hearing on the news over and over about the parents that went there and were
